GJM wants Gorkhaland Bill in next session of parliament | | The Gorkha community members from Darjeeling region of
West Bengal demanded the Union Government to table the bill to create the separate Gorkhaland state in the next parliament session. To press for its demand the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) has blocked
all the roads in the region since Sunday. National Highway 55, which connects
Darjeeling region with whole of West Bengal and National Highway 31 linking
Sikkim
with the rest of the country, continued to remain blocked even on Tuesday. The
GJM students wing central committee member Kamalesh Rai said : "Actually our
demand
is very simple. We want Gorkhaland and before the next Parliament session comes
on, we want the bill be placed in the Parliament." Apart from the blockades, the
activists of GJM have been observing relay hunger strike that began on Saturday
in different sub-divisions of the Darjeeling Hills. Meanwhile, the women cell
